build instructions on windows unclear

[yankscally]

getting a lot of errors trying to make lsp for windows. Would really appreciate some binaries for windows if possible! FL studio is now supporting CLAP as of FL24.

i followed the instructions here and get some errors.

Hello!

For Windows, asprintf function is defined in the <lsp-plug.in/stdlib/stdio.h> file. Need more details. Please post your build log with VERBOSE=1 make option.

hey there. I'm probably not going to be much help as I'm not that great at building cpp projects, but I would love to show you this clap tracker list i have been working on with a friend with the help of https://clapdb.tech :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1keqUNZ8DPRJsSAMQi4-L8JeLlActZuY6ol5MH6N2x2k/edit?gid=0#gid=0

basically, we are using a software called Blockhead, and it has just supported CLAP, so we have been testing what works on it. it also has some extra info about licensing and if its free/needs signup.

Unfortunately I won't be able to check LSP off the list for windows (I use windows) or I guess macOS, but I'd really love to.. I've been dying to try out LSP plugins, but I am not able to get a windows build because I'm not good at the building part.

Is a windows .clap build within the realm of possiblity?

We're planning to open a market where you'll be able to download Windows builds for $$ if you're not available to build plugins from source code.

Closing the issue as there is nothing to do.
